2nd SFRAW Podcast Episode with guest, Elin Weber: Connecting to a dog's inner nature, developing natural behaviors, and bringing nature & balance into daily life!     

This very special episode of SFRAW Podcast with my friend, Elin Weber, was reworked a bit. The original idea was for a live walk in nature experience, with discussion and interview, but this proved challenging with the spotty cell reception being poor in nature. 😸 We really tried! 

Check out our IGTV or YouTube channel recordings to see one of our past test efforts and you'll see what I mean. https://fb.watch/5PpNmOfiI1/ 

So, Elin put together some nice clips that are shared in our interview recorded from her home instead. Please enjoy this episode, share, follow/subscribe & turn on *notifications* to learn when we post future episodes!
